Healthy Meal Plan
Hey friends – who else is ready for some fall fun?? After spending last weekend and the beginning of the week in drenching rain, the last two days of warm sunshine have felt amazing! But, fall temps return tomorrow (but with some sun, thankfully!) and this meal plan just feels perfect.
There’s lots of Fall deliciousness on this meal plan: Acorn and Delicata Squash, Broccoli, and Potatoes are all in peak season right now and I am here for the comfort food meals all day everyday!
Freezer Prep
Last weekly meal plan I mentioned starting to stock your freezer! This week, while I am cooking, I am going to assemble two freezer meals at the same time with my Maple BBQ Chicken and my Instant Pot Chicken Tortilla Soup. Instead of doubling the recipe and freezing (which is also a great idea) these are meals you can assemble and freeze raw! You can cook them from frozen in your Instant Pot.
You can see this technique in action in these videos: FREEZER PREP VIDEO and Chicken Tortilla Soup. This is another quick and easy way to get that freezer stocked!

Each recipe on this meal plan has a link to find your personal points. If you go to the recipe card on each blog post you will find the link in the “notes” section. Click on that link and it will take you to the Weight Watchers website where you can see the points for the recipe and add it to your day (but you must be logged into your account).
FAQs
For lunch this week, I suggest Gluten Free Orzo Salad since there is already broccoli on your grocery list and it’s a delicious lunch option. Grill up some chicken or another protein like Lemon Grilled Salmon to put on top. (Note for FIXers: watch your BLUE container on certain days – you may need to omit the feta!)
There are also tons of leftover options on this plan, if that’s your thing!
When I meal plan I always start by planning my dinners. Then breakfast, then lunch. And finally, I fill in my snacks for the day with my remaining macros, points, or containers.
Healthy Snack Ideas | 21 Day Fix Snacks this post is a great way to get ideas for the containers, points, or macros you have leftover after you plan the rest of your day!
It’s still important to follow the 21 Day Fix plan on Saturdays and Sundays for optimal results, but you will likely have leftover meals and ingredients after following this plan. And, so, to eliminate food waste, take inventory of your fridge and pantry at the end of the week and create a plan for the weekend. Many people like to get some healthy takeout one night – think yummy salads with grilled protein or a slice of veggie pizza – and we have this helpful Healthy Weekend Meals post to help you even more!
You are in luck! I have 14 FREE and FULL 21 Day Fix Meal Plans for all of the calorie brackets ready to go for you!
